I'd like another look at Klaassen but I'm resigned to the fact that Allardyce wants to get rid of him.

Unless Sam was told he has to make £20m of room before he can add another £20m midfielder (N'zonzi?) into the squad, and Klaassan was the obvious fall guy. Before Moyes rode to the rescue. I agree he must be worth a second look if he doesn't go this window.

Serious question but is Van Aarnholt actually as bad as everyone makes out? Whenever I've seen him he's looked pretty athletic and bombs up and down the left flank and pops up with a few goals too. Compared to the current encumbent of the left back slot that sounds pretty orgasmic.

Tbh, anyone with a left foot has to be an improvement on what we have now. And I don't think Martina is as bad as everyone else thinks!

Wouldn't be such a bad move to try Sigurdsson in Schneiderlin's place with the protection of Gueye next to him, if the move comes off. I think he could make a pretty decent midfielder and extend his career there. He's never a £45m one but we are where we are.

I remember Chelsea having Matic and Fabregas as their 2 ‘defensive’ midfielders. Had a nice balance to it. Gylfi certainly has the fitness and passing ability for that role.
